OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 17, 2010 at 11:55pm: Inteligence specialist.

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 17, 2010 at 10:53pm: Our daughter's rate made it necessary for one such interview. We had to remember things like where she had worked as a teen and dates too. Yes, only answer the questions asked. The agent that came by our house not only walked around our block but sat in front observing the neighborhood too. We had to guess at some of the information listed because we just couldn' t remember specific dates. And I remember a short term job that my daughter hadn't listed. We will be getting another visit for our son's rate so at least we will know what to expect.

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 8:50pm: kaceysmom: Today could have been the day that he finally got to write since they write on Sundays. So just maybe you will get one by the middle/end of the week! Fingers crossed!

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 8:50pm: DanandCarleysMom: Loved Residence Inn Waukegan! Suites...1 and 2 bedrooms, full kitchen. Within about 4 miles of base, shuttle to PIR ($3/pp each way). Free hot buffet breakfast in the lobby each day. Gas fireplace in the living room.

Comment by shana-(kaceysmom) on October 17, 2010 at 8:32pm: i havnt recieved a letter from my son yet....i hope i get one soon....!

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 3:56pm: jenifer: They can't write until they have been there about 2 weeks....so maybe this is the week you will get one (may be written today as they are allowed to write on Sundays).
